Just restarted and switched to Normal/Classic.

LOL. My Avatar got double-teamed by the last Myrmidon and Mage in Chapter 1. I honestly thought he would survive those blows and he gets whacked.

Jesus, maybe I really should stick to Normal mode. -_-

Also, why should I always pair units? I feel that's counterproductive if only one of them is getting EXP.

The critical thing is just Fire Emblem in general. Even with brilliant planning and coordination you can still get boned from the Random Number Generator.

And just power through it buddy. Take advantage of the weapon triangle and always be sure to use the terrain to your advantage.

As for the pair up it's best to use it to get your weaker units levels or just power level one unit.

And even if you manage to get the attacker unit who is in front of a bunch of levels causing the support unit to fall behind it is still rather easy to catch up because of the bonus that unit can get from being the attacker in front instead of the support unit.---Oklahoma City Thunder, Texas Rangers, St Louis Rams, and Oklahoma Sooners fan. http://cdn2.sbnation.com/assets/3914361/Russ-Troll_medium.gif

If you don't grind, use a guide, or metagame hardcore (which frequently implies guide usage or 2nd playthrough) then it's not difficult to lose a unit on Hard/Classic. If anything I'm more surprised/impressed you tried to play the mode honestly and continued after a character died.

I went Hard/Casual. I'll wipe the floor with Normal, but I don't have the patience to keep restarting each time one of my units dies. This will make for good practice anyway.---Follow me on Miiverse!

Stat boost. The paired unit's stats go up and do so signficantly depending on the support rank. It also ensures that the support unit could add extra attacks or even negate damage altogether. And if they do attack, they get a portion of experience.---3DS:1075-0914-2884 PSN: Dragonknight387
